tail. Bishops Hambletonian was bred
to Silvertail, reuniting two other separ-
ated lines of Messengers blood, and the
result was filly which grew to be known
as One Eye. This One Eye was bred to
noted Norfolk trotter known as Bel
founder, and produced FLY known in
after life as the Charles Kent Mare.
This was direct outcross, as there was
no blood relationship, yet it was what
might be termed the inbreeding of trot-
ting instincts. Abdallah, the inbred
Messenger, then twenty-five years old,
was mated with the Charles Kent Mare,
then about fifteen years old, whose dam
was also inbred to Messenger, thus again
reunlting separated lines of the most val
liable trotting blood of that day and the
result was the founder of family of
trotters that towers so far above all
other families that comparisons between
them are odious.

The increasing prosperity of the REGISTERS
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree oil
the American road horse. AS such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times It's
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department; and we ex.
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree Of the following famous hors
es hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, ST. Law
renee, Columbus. dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey dam
of Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, z. s. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g. $. OF Biggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is prominently the kind of intorma-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper for the history of the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trao-
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to a romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
of the horse, but also the life and beauty of
the country through which he travels.

c. E. Mayne, the Omaha real estate
millionaire, who is interested in Rock
island property and who is quite well
known here, had piece of hard luck on
Tuesday last. His chestnut stallion,
Consul, valued at $4,000, died in the
night in st. Joe. from the effects of an
injury received on the track The horse
was exercising on the track, going at the
rate of $50, when he ran into roadster
belonging in st. Joe. A shaft of the
sulky ran into the horse about fourteen
inches, resulting in internal injury and
producing death. The driver was thrown
30 feet and was badly injured, though
not fatally.
